Initial Neutral Rating to be revised post detailed assessment of Solution Provider and based on additional customer reviews

The Original Software solution enabled the QA team of Coca-Cola Computer Services to create a wide range of automated tests and help maintain the high quality of the BASIS application used by many bottling plants around the world. The Coca-Cola team needed a solution which would enable them to build rapid and maintainable automation as well as address other aspects of the testing challenge including the database and managing test data environments, and they found this unique combination with Original Software in a partnership which has continued for over 8 years. During this time the test assets created proved especially beneficial when Coca-Cola delivered big releases that required a complete retest of the complex and business critical application. Around 130 Test Cases with about 3000 Scripts comparing 200,000 individual screens have been recorded over time and are readily available to run business process related tests in a short time. It has saved the team many hundreds of man-hours and means that BASIS can be assured to a level just not possible manually, supporting Coca-Colas mission of delivering quality to their business partners in a timely manner.

IT and the business are now more closely aligned and working as a partnership to drive the business forward. The Original Software team are very approachable, understand our needs and are knowledgeable about how to get the most out of an improved test process €“ it has been a good partnership.

Original Software also has very good support €“ their analysts always come up with a solution. They take responsibility and seem to care about the problem. Original Software enables me to provide quality software to my users, who, in turn, can give continued good service to HMV customers.
